McSweeney’s/Semen News

The following McSweeney’s Lists (almost always best read with no further introduction than their titles alone) amused me:

The Most Famous Haiku Of All Time
Selected Words from a Chinese-English Dictionary Published in the People’s Republic of China And the Sentences Used to Illustrate Their Meanings
The only list item in Academic Euphemisms for Masturbating which I found funny was “Masturbating”, but read it anyway.

While we’re on the subject, semen is apparently an anti-depressant. Pass it on.

The Joke Was Funnier Before I Got It

Esther told me this joke:
Q: What did sushi A say to sushi B?
A: Wassup B?

In the split-second before I realized the answer was referring to wasabe, I thought it was just one of those really pointless jokes descended from the road-crossing chicken, and in that split-second the joke was hilarious.
